The v601's felt every bit as good as a set of Pilot...

A high solids ceramic coating like CarPro CQuartz UK or Gyeon Mohs EVO would likely work better in this scenario. My daughter's cars got 3 years of protection while sitting in dorm parking lots.

My desires are very similar to the OPs, and driving habits aren't too much different, if not slower from a daily commute standpoint.
